more medieval mark/oliver this time featuring Whump
[ID: a digital drawing of Mark Bryant, a 25 year old East Asian man with pale skin and chin-length black hair, and Oliver Ritz, a 33 year old white man with pale skin, short black hair, and glasses, in a large wooden box-like carriage almost completely filled with large sacks and wooden crates. Mark is on the left, his back to the viewer as he leans against a box, and is wearing a red tunic and grey tights, facing Oliver. Oliver is lying on his side, his hands behind his back uncomfortably, wearing a grey button-down tunic and brown boots, and one of the lenses of his glasses is cracked, his eye bloodied beneath it. He looks up at Mark. Filtering through the spaces between the carriage’s slats is light from the moon, and a distant starry sky. End ID]
[ID: a short, digital, colored comic with two panels, framed by black and divided on the diagonal with a black line. The comic depicts Adam Hayes and Seamus Blackwell. In the top panel is Adam, a 21 year old Black man, with short, dark hair. He’s wearing a black t-shirt under a denim jacket, with both sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His hands are aloft, engulfed in flames that rise past his head. He’s looking down at Blackwell in anger, tears streaming down his face. The speech bubble reads: you killed him. The bottom panel is Blackwell, a balding elderly white man in a white button-down, a black cloak, and off-white pants, illuminated by Adam’s fire. He’s on the floor, one hand holding him up, the other partially shielding himself, as he looks up at Adam in fear. End ID]

He is wearing mid-1300s clothing in both drawings. On the left, he has writing next to him that says “Prince Mark.” He has a golden crown with red jewels embedded in it. He has a golden collar and a dark red cape that’s lined with gold. His tunic is a brighter red with a white patch on the top right. The patch has a family crest of a red and gold bird.

The right drawing of Mark has “Forest Mark” written to the left of him. He has the same neutral expression. This time he’s in more practical clothes. His tunic is a dull pink color and the collar peeks out from beneath the cape. His cape is now a dark green and the inside is white. The tunic is much longer, falling to his lower calves. The tunic has a leather belt tying it closer to his waist. The stockings are the same grey, with the same brown leather shoes. He still wears the same signet ring. End ID]

[ID: a digital drawing depicting two separate photos on a black background. In the photo on the left is Mark Bryant. In the photo on the right is Oliver Ritz. They are both facing away from the viewer. Mark is an East Asian man in his late 20s or early 30s. He’s leaning against a railing, overlooking water, and watching fireworks. In the distance is the Boston skyline. The night sky is lit up with fireworks, giving it a green, purple, and a slightly red hue. Mark is wearing a pink suit jacket and white pants with a black belt. His short black hair is mostly concealed by a sparkly, golden hat, with the beginning of a two just peeking out. His hat is partially lit by the fireworks. Oliver is a white man with close-cropped black hair, in his late 30s or early 40s. He’s standing in front of a stone railing, resting his right arm on the railing, holding a glass of champagne in his left, and looking out over Berlin.

The writing above Mark’s photo, in the left-hand corner is: Boston, January 1st, 12:00 AM. Below Oliver’s photo, in the right-hand corner is: Berlin, January 1st, 12:00 AM. end ID]
i’ve been using this blog to dump doodles that i forget i also draw proper stuff!! i just read the infinite noise by lauren shippen and wanted to draw something for it, so here’s my take on the boys!
Hello strange and unusual family! If you’re one of the many people joining tumblr for the first time, coming back, or getting into fiction podcasts for the first time, we’ve got a show we think you might like!
The Bright Sessions is a science fiction podcast that follows a group of therapy patients. But these are not your typical patients - each has a unique supernatural ability. The show documents their struggles and discoveries as well as the motivations of their mysterious therapist, Dr. Bright. The show is complete, with seven seasons and three books, and has a cast of interesting characters, found family feels, and swoon-worthy ships.
There’s a whole world of Atypicals to jump into, and you can start right now! And keep reading to see the *chef’s kiss* ideal way to consume all the different content (aka in in-universe timeline order)
[ID: two colorful drawings of characters from The Bright Sessions. The first drawing is of Sam and Chloe from the waist up. Sam is a dark-skinned woman with short, dark brown hair. She’s wearing a white crop top with a light blue design on it, and white drop earrings. Her eyes are closed, she’s smiling and looking down with an arm around Chloe. Chloe is a woman with medium-brown skin. Her hair is shoulder-length and dyed pink, darker at the top and lighter at the tips. She’s wearing a bright yellow shirt with a clown design on it. Her eyes are closed and she’s laughing, leaning into Sam a little. The background is a bright blue sky with wispy clouds, and several bright sunflowers are growing behind them.
The second drawing is of Damien from the waist up. Damien is a man with light brown skin and short, straight black hair. He’s wearing a plain white t-shirt. He has bandages on his forehead, neck, and arm, of varying sizes. He’s sitting in a chair, resting one arm on the back of the chair and turned to look at something off-screen with narrowed eyes and a smirk on his face. On a table beside him is a table, set with a flowerpot and a small cake with one slice taken out of it. The background is a purple sky filled with distant stars, and the moon is full and bright overhead. End ID]
Caleb went from being the himbo friend to being the anxious mom friend and I love him for that. Tbs Caleb would ask you what animal the Pink Panther is while tct Caleb makes sure all his friends remember to take their meds and stay hydrated
I want to write an essay about why Caleb and Chloe both have ADHD. I don’t know if Lauren intended to write them with ADHD but they both summarize the ADHD experience so well.
I had never seen or heard characters deal with sensory issues/overstimulation before TBS so listening to Caleb dealing with being bombarded by everyone’s emotions at the same time and Chloe having to deal with dozens of unorganized thoughts made me feel really seen in a way I had never experienced from a piece of media.
I always assumed that my brain was broken in some hellish unique way. I thought I was weak because I couldn’t handle the same things as “”“"normal”“”“ people. I didn’t fit the ADHD stereotype so spent years hating myself and beating myself up for not being ”“"normal”“”“. I didn’t realize it was ADHD because I had only ever seen it portrayed by neurotypical people who focus on how ADHD impacts and inconveniences neurotypical people so hearing characters deal with how it impacts them internally was really important for me. I wasn’t broken, my brain was just constructed differently.
I think atypicals bring me a lot of comfort because they aren’t normal and they never will be. They will always have to deal with shit non-atypical people don’t have to deal with. They’re not weaker for breaking because they’re already carrying so much more than the average person (sometimes literally).
They’re weird, they’re abnormal, they’re atypical and that’s fine. The solution to their problems is never to stop being atypical but rather to learn how to cope and regain control over their life. They bond over their abnormality and most of them wouldn’t change it because it’s who they are. I find there is a certain familiarity in that kind of weirdness.
I honestly don’t know where I’m going with this but Chloe and Caleb both resonate a lot with me as a neurodivergent person and I love them a lot. I have an easier time processing my own emotions and experiences through fictional characters and being able to project onto them has brought me a lot of comfort.
Tldr: representation is important and I have too many emotions rn
